Approximately between 2014 and 2016. Satellite imagery shows the airport was still intact and appeared operational as of February 2014. By early 2017, the site had been completely cleared and was undergoing grading for new industrial construction. The closure and demolition likely occurred within that two-year window.
Economic reasons, specifically the sale and redevelopment of the land for industrial use. The airport's location near the expanding Port of Brownsville made the real estate highly valuable for logistics and transportation purposes. The site was redeveloped into a large-scale industrial facility, a common fate for small, privately-owned airfields located in areas of growing commercial and industrial importance.
The site has been completely redeveloped and is now unrecognizable as an airport. It is occupied by a large, modern logistics and transportation facility, including extensive warehouse buildings and massive paved lots used as a truck and trailer yard. The facility is part of the industrial expansion of the Port of Brownsville, with major logistics companies operating from the location. There are no remaining traces of the former runway or any aviation-related structures.
Ag-Air Inc. Airport (also known as Valley Ag-Air Airport) was a small, private airfield dedicated to agricultural aviation. Its primary and sole purpose was to serve as a base for crop-dusting and aerial application aircraft. These planes were vital to the region's agricultural economy, providing services like pesticide, herbicide, and fertilizer application for the vast farmlands of the Rio Grande Valley, which produce crops such as cotton, sorghum, citrus, and vegetables. The airport would have typically hosted aircraft like the Air Tractor, Grumman Ag Cat, or Piper PA-25 Pawnee. Its significance was local, supporting the agricultural industry in Cameron County and the surrounding area.
None. The prospect of reopening the site as an airport is zero. The land has been irrevocably repurposed with permanent, large-scale industrial infrastructure. The complete redevelopment of the site for high-value commercial use makes any return to aviation activities impossible.
